    He owned them, but at that time, social media was in its infancy and radio and TV were the prime mediums ot communication. Rush Limbaugh in 2006 pretty much admitted to doctor shopping for his pill addiction, and by confessing even to that, was banned from owning firearms. And Rush Limbaugh was a big opponent of any type of gun control, including if one was caught or admitted to using drugs illegally like he did. The Gun Control issue replaced the drug addict issue on his TV show in 2006. But he did own firearms, according to his estate that is.

    if you want to change the right, you would have to have an amendment

    but if the right and left want to ban guns and set a precedent like already exists, then I say push it, until the left and right realize it's wrong to turn rights into privileges

    if you have to have a privilege to have a right... it's not a right... it's a privilege

    that is not what a white nationalist means, from the left or any other direction you want to look at. And owning firearms, which plenty of people do own from both sides of the aisle, is a common ownership in this country for a variety of reasons. But then again, why the increase in mass shootings that are racially motivated and towards people of color? you can't just blame "mental illness" in a broad stroke now can you?

    yet, machine guns are harder to get, yet ex-felons do not have the privilege to have the right

    the machine gun ban not only blatantly violates the second and tenth amendment, it should have been repealed based on the Miller case (which was a fraud designed uphold the1934 NFA). Felons can lose all sorts of rights through due process of law such as their right of assembly, or life for that matter

    yet they already do, that is the point, the precedent was set, so the SC would have to set the record straight

    yeah he was a big threat to public safety? Biden howls for gun bans and yet ignores enforcing a law he brays about-big difference with Rush who was not a hypocrite on this. and it is up in the air if he was using drugs illegally. Hunter Clearly was. HE was using a schedule one narcotic that has no legitimate medical value and is illegal per se.

    Just stop it. Your need to make this about how unfairly white people are treated is warping your mind.

    If a white guy paints swastikas on his gun and shoots non-white people then he is clearly a racist. its called context and you should be intelligent enough to understand that, which makes me wonder why you bothered to say anything to the contrary. We don't need a manifesto.

    Oh, any sign of Zelensky with a swastika like you claimed? You can't hide behind opinions there, its a specific factual claim. Care to back it up?

    Evidently it is okay look at Hunter Biden.
    I don't recall any prominent conservatives or Republicans mentioning Rush Limbaugh's oxycodone habit and his ownership of firearms. Were they prescribed to him?

    Why don't you just stop. The swastika by itself is meaningless, and I've said that before. Up until that point the ONLY people saying this was racist were the people in this thread until I saw a story in the news.

    As for warping this story, if the shooter was anything but white and the victims were anything but black would you even be in this thread?

    What is the left trying to prove by crying racist racist racist? Would you feel better if the victims in this thread were mowed down in a drive by shooting? You guys run, repeat, run from stories like that. But now you have a white guy and your world erupts. Why?

    Regarding Nazis in Ukraine's military, I'm not surprised CNN hasn't reported on it when for years every major news organization did.

    machine guns is an example and taking away gun rights from people after they have completed their sentences

    are rights really just privileges that can be revoked to you?

    So a symbol associated with the Nazis on the gun of a white guy who just shot a bunch of black people is 'meaningless'? Only if you are determined to deny the meaning for some emotional or ideological reason.

    'The left' isn't trying to 'prove' anything, they are merely observing the obvious. YOU are the one trying to 'prove' something by continually arguing that a white guy with a swastika on his gun shooting black people isn't racially motivated. I'm not sure what you think you are 'proving', but the reflexive need to deny the obvious is disturbing.

    Deflecting from Nazis by attacking 'the left' seems to be a pattern.

    I know about them. When did Zelensky display a swastika? That was your claim. Did you just make that up? Come on, just admit it was a fabrication.
